    He's not that ******. He knows there are a lot of ****** fans in boxing. He doesn't care about the smart ones. The ****** ones are majority, that's what he thinks.

      Doesn't look good for Jacobs. But Golovkin is fighting Brook because the money's good so as far as I'm concerned, both Golovkin and Jacobs can go fuck themselves.. for now anyway.

        Jacobs, like the rest of the boxing world are thinking so small and have little self esteem. Nobody is fighting the tuff fights. Has it not occurred to Jacobs that he could make more money in a competitive GGG trilogy then he'll make in the rest of his career fighting nobodies?

          These are fights that should happen or should have happened.
          One can only agree to that.

            Silly. This needs to be the next fight (Golovkin/Jacobs). Jacobs is a non distinguished name in the market outside of the small hardcore fanbase. If Jacobs takes the fight NOW (assuming he beats Mora and Golovkin beats Brook) and wins then he can elevate his status and finances exponentially.

              Let's not pretend that Canelo/Cotto wouldn't have vacated earlier if GGG didn't step aside...

              GGG wanted to fight Canelo and Canelo vacated to avoid the fight, and somehow it's GGG's fault these haters... empty brains.
              I corrected myself to lay blame with solely with HBO and ODH. GGG is only to blame for the selection of a weak opponent.

                We are asking for those fights... the problem is that those guys don't want it. "pay me millions", yeah.

                  jacobs' time is almost up - wba will force the mandatory between super and regular champ before year end. ggg and jacobs both fighting in september so unless jacobs decides to walk away - and hence give up belt - then he's going to have to fight him soon. let's face it, without that belt jacobs has nothing (even though everyone knows that belt ain't worth ****.

                    He can think whatever he wants, his methods don't work. He has yet to prove he has any idea how to create a star in boxing.

                      This post right here is embarrassing.

                      Nothing else needs to be said about it.
